Bust'n Tails

Bust'n Tails takes the guesswork out of finding your next hunting or fishing adventure. The core idea is dead simple: they vet outfitters so you don't waste time on bad ones, and they never charge you more than the outfitter itself does. Zero markup. That's the entire pitch.

Brad Hoffman and the team research outfitter success rates, client references, accommodations, guide quality, and management practices. They talk to hunters who didn't get their target animal—not just the ones who filled their tags. Then they match you with operations that align with your style and budget.

"My passion is to help book your next hunting or fishing adventure with the outfitters I would spend my money with and take my friends and family to." — Brad Hoffman

Most hunters spend hours Googling outfitters, reading reviews, and calling references. Bust'n Tails already did that homework. They filter for ethical management, proper hunter-to-land ratios, quality guides, and real guest experiences—not just price or luxury. The result: clients get authentic trips, not oversold operations.

Repeated business is the standard at their partner outfitters. People book the same trips year after year because the experience is that solid.
